GT502's
I'm thinking on getting the GT502's for the bike. I like what I've read and though they are a bit costly, I like the fact they are wider than the Night Dragons...
Anybody know where I can get a great price? I want to replace both the front and the back...
Thanks...

I have GT502s front and rear. Front went on the end of last year and cost me about $140.00 for the tire online at Surdyke with shipping and another $80.00 for mounting, balancing, tube and rim strip from a local shop. Just did the rear last week. $280.00 from Surdyke with shipping, then another $80.00 for mounting, balancing, tube and rim strip at local shop.
At $580.00 for the pair, with me pulling the wheels and carrying them to the shop, I will likely go with alternatives next time.

The rear 502 has just got to high. I had 3 and the best I got was 7000 miles. I went with Avon 170/60-17. Think I will try the Avon 190/60-17 next time because I do like the wide tire look and it is less than $200.

So I'm still looking at the GT502. The GT501 doesn't come in the size I want (180).
I also see the 100/90 19 front, in the GT502, says it's recommended to fit a 2.15" rim. I thought I read on the Dunlop site I have a 2.5" rim...
Anybody?
All this so I can get a 180 on the back to fill the fender out some. Is it really worth it?!!

hi,
i got just under 15000kms on my rear gt502, just put new one on and it cost $300 from an indy here in aus, $425 at stealer
I cruise the freeways and country roads and it does fine, by the sounds of it if you aggressive rider then other tyre may be better,
probably would of saved $40-50 going with another brand but not sure if get the mileage out of them
thanks
